  FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD Romans 5:1-11 Devotional:- “For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life” (V. 10)  As a kingdom citizen please known that God wants to be your best friend. This is because intimacy is part of your act of worship. It is true that God is our maker and redeemer yet he wants to be our friend. Remember we were made to live continually in God’s presence but it is sin that makes us loose that (Gen 3, Roman 3:23)  In our scripture for today we saw that it was grace through the sacrifice of the cross that gives us access to friendship with God (2 Corinthians 5:18). Our friendship with God does not mean casual acquaintance but close and trusted relationships just like the best man in a wedding. In the palace the servant must keep their distance from the king but there are some people in circle of intimate and trusted friends with the king. They enjoy free an...

BOOK OF LOVE

1 John 2:5-11
Devotional:- "But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him". (v. 5) 

    The good manual and text book from where to learn the character of love is the word of God. There are different types of love but the greatest kind of love is the God’s kind of love. This is the love that has made God to endure with man from creation. This is the love that make God to give the world His only son as a sacrifice for our sins (1 John 4:10). This is the love that made God want to live with men eternally. 

If anyone wants to grow the attitude of love, the bible is the first text book. It teaches and show us the practical way of love; from the love of God to man in the Garden of Eden, to the practical presence of Jesus on earth. To the death and resurrection of Jesus. 

We all should learn to study and meditate on the word of God. It is in it we can grow the attitude of love. The word of God is the love letter to the church (John 13:35; Ephesians 5:24-25). No one put aside a lover’s letter except there is a breakdown of relationship. So when you don't study the word of God, you are not in terms with God. Remember, God is love (1 John 4:7-8). So you need to grow to be like your father- Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to love your word.

“A lover’s letter is treated as the lover”

MASTER’S MINAS

MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV      The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
